A candid business narrative and memoir from your founder of Jimmy Choo

Tamara Mellon made a lot of money building Jimmy Choo into a billion-dollar style brand. She became the perfect minister’s trade envoy and was honored by the Queen with the Order of the United kingdom Empire-yet it’s her personal glamour that helps to keep her an object of global mass media fascination. Vogue photographed her wedding; Vanity Fair covered her divorce as well as the legal trial that implemented. Harper’s Bazaar toured her London town about IN MY OWN Shoes and boots: A Memoir house and her NY mansion, because of the closets. And the Wall structure Road Journal hinted at the real red meat: the three private equity offers, the relentless battle between ‘the matches’ and ‘the creatives,’ and Mellon’s triumph against a brutally hostile takeover attempt.

Within this candid memoir she shares the complete larger-than-life story, with honestly shocking insider detail that has under no circumstances been presented anywhere. From her stressed youth to her time as a young editor at Vogue to her collaboration with cobbler Jimmy Choo to her extremely public relationships, Mellon gives a gripping account of the episodes that have made her who she actually is today.

The result is crucial read for entrepreneurs, fashionistas, and anyone who loves a juicy true story about sex, medicines, money, power, high heel shoes, and overcoming adversity.
